Notes from each weeks Quran study

Commemorating God at Hajj (2:198-199)

[2:198] You commit no error by seeking provisions from your Lord (through commerce). When you file from `Arafaat, you shall commemorate GOD at the Sacred Location (of Muzdalifah). You shall commemorate Him for guiding you; before this, you had gone astray.

[2:199] You shall file together, with the rest of the people who file, and ask GOD for forgiveness. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.

It was different when doing Hajj – I didn’t try and look for the best deal but looked for what God wanted me to have. Learned that if you are in a state of Ihram (being the best righteous person you can be) how beautiful it is. Everything you find is a gift, and you will love it because you are very appreciative. God says give from the things you love – if someone asks for something in Hajj because they want it I will give it to them.
